was believed to be simple leak from one
Of the new company's lines, and watch

of those who investigated it WAS discov-
cred that the fluid came from the old pipe
line. How many leaks exist or where
they are located can NOT be ascertained.
Further investigation showed that there
was high pressure in the main, and this
shows that no limit can be placed on the
amount of the deadly explosive that is be-

toria schooner was lying at the wharf OF
Barclay Sound, on the west coast OF Van

give the girls up. After psrleying with
the captain for q short time they left, only

LEGISLATURE has closed and for all
the good it has done this State,
might as we'll have closed month
ago For months PRIOR to the con-
yen,ng Of the Legislature the peo
pie were clamoring for irrigation
schemes, immigration schemes and
experimental artesian wells The
papers teemed with articles favor
ing these subjects. Nor we're
these merely the opinions of eoi-
torial writer's for many men of prac-
tical experience who had given
these questions careful study ad-
dressed the public through the
press favoring these propositions.
1t was the general opinion that
when the Legislature met there
would not be the slightest opposl-
ton to any Of these much needed
measures. AS soon as they ap-
peared, however, they were pounced
upon by numberless enemies and
not single one of these bills pass
ed in such shape that they could
do the State the slightest practical
good.
The Immigration Bureau bill was
Knocked out on the ground that it
gave Mr.. Dovey an extra $50 a
month for tramping about this
State collecting statistics. In
other words it is proclaimed to the
people Of this State that we cannot
afford to pay a man 5000 a year to
advertise it. Other States think
$50,0OO not too much but Nevada
let's paltry 5000 stand in the way.
The artesian well bill was
Erst drawn up by Assemblyman
Powell. He had no more practical
knowledge of this subject than a
mule and bis bill was a mere boy
ish founder on the subject. Then
the Joint Committee on Irrigation
got it in good shape and made
bill that met all requirements. It
was amended and It's utility knock
ed out by providing that these wells
must be at least ten miles apart.
The scheme 10 tunnel Lake Ia
hoe and make a garden of this
State was knocked in the head also
by the hoggish Reno delegation
who always oppose anything that
benefits any other county but Wa
shoe.
TIE House had few practical
men in it but they were in the mi
nority. Many of them seemed to
be governed by a mere motive of
getting even on some one. If their
bills were killed they retaliated by
killing everybody else's. 1t was
ludicrous to see Powell, Griswold
and Ford rubbing their hands in
alec aud grinning when they we're
able to defeat some bill that level
headed men had spent weeks upon.
Many Of the Assemblymen seem
ed to be solely governed by malice.
spleen, ignorance and were abso-
Lutte strangers to any idea which
could in any way benefit the State.
TO them the session was sort of
picnic and the halls of Legislature
a play ground. The result of their
labors, however. need not discour-
age any earnest thinking man. The
State has natural resources that
will in time assert their supremacy,
aud the efforts of the narrow mind
ed and thoughtless cannot long re-
tard the States prosperity. A diff
ferent class of men will in time be
in the front and when once started
nothing can stop the progress and
growth Of Nevada. We will all |
have to wait but the day Of redemp-
ton will come.

CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY.

The supreme court rendered It's de-
cisiOn in the well known Ryegate Gran
tie cutters case Monday, sustaining the
Judgment of the county court. The
case is remanded to be further proceed
ed with, and the granite cutters must
come up for jury trial in the June term
of court. The Importance of this de-
cision as bearing on the labor troubles
of to day make it one of special inter-
est to employers and employees. A re-
capitulatiOn of the case, already famil-
lar to many in this vicinity, may en-
phasize the Importance of the decision.
In April 1885 number of men en-
pIoyed in the Ryegate Granite works,
members of the Granite Cutters Union,
notified the Ryegate company, then re-
Gently formed, that their business must
be conducted as Union establishment,
employing Union men only. Upon the
cOmpany's refusal to comply, the Union
obtained authority, as they claimed,
from Philadelphia headquarters to
"scab" the company. A cOmmitte was
appointed who notified all interested
granite workers that the establishment
had been ''scabbed," and that the name
of any man who consented to work for
the company would be published in
the Granite Cutters Journal as a
"scab" and that such could not obtain
employment elsewhere until they had
Joined the Union. The effect of this
notice was to drive the workmen out
of the works and to close the concern.
Men were stationed at Wells River and
Montpelier to notify men that the
shop was "scab" shop and notice was
published in the Boston Herald that
all Union Granite Cutters must keep
away from there.
On the statement of these facts Il
number of the men were complained of
for conspiracy to intimidate the firm
and to close up the works. The hear
ing, before Judge Smith, lasted a week
and Is of the granite cutters were
bound up for trial. At the June term,
'85, the grand jury found two indict-
ments against fifteen and two others
against the whole IL. The respond
ents filed motions to quash the indict-
ments and demurred to the indictments
on the ground that the facts stated
were not criminal and constituted no
violation of law. The county court
overruled the demurrer and motion to
Quash and held the indictments suffi-
cient. The case then went to the su-
preme court, was argued in the May
term last year and it fell to Judge
Powers to write the opinion which is
in substance as follows: "The judg-
ment of the county court Overruling
the demurrer and adjudging the indict-
ments insufficient and overriding the
motion to quash is affirmed, and the
case is remanded to be further pro-
ceeded with"
The meaning of this decision is that
the supreme court holds as a matter of
law that any combination of workmen
to intimidate other wOrkingmen or en-
plOyers in order to compel them to
submit to their wishes OF to their
methods of conducting business is
criminal conspiracy and against the
law of the land. The significance of
the decision at this time is apparent.
